“But you haven’t seen the room. Just wait.”

“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,”she replied. “Happiness is ____ you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t _____ the furniture. It’s how I arrange my mind.

Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far and why does it make this long and dangerous trip. Scientists still don’t have an answer.

For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.

The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.

How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place. This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation (代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generations of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍) , and then die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for generations are born, reproduces, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two or five weeks. In the autumn, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.

Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.

1.How long did it take the scientist to find out the Monarch butterflies came from Canada?

_______________________________________________________________________.

2.Which generation of Monarch butterflies travel back to central Mexico?

3.Does each generation of the family have the same life?

A. Family of Monarch butterflies B. Mystery of Monarch butterflies

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. 1. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless 2. and asked God for help.“Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my hope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.”

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” 3., I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school 4.. It's out of my hands.”

For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. “That was me.
